Dear all,

I would like to announce that the deadline for the Language, Interaction and Social Organization (LISO) conference has been extended to 31st January. Again, our conference will feature a plenary presentation by Dr Shannon Ward, so it will be particularly excited to see more work done with languages of the Tibeto-Burman area. I have added the second call below.

Sincerely,
Ryan


The Language, Interaction, and Social Organization (LISO) Graduate Student Organization<https://www.liso.ucsb.edu/> at UCSB and the Center for Language, Interaction, and Culture (CLIC) Graduate Student Association<https://clic.ss.ucla.edu/clicgsa/> at UCLA and are pleased to host:


The 27th Annual Conference on Language, Interaction and Social Organization

May 23-24, 2025

University of California, Santa Barbara


Theme:

Research and (Re)action


Plenary speakers

Dr. Lynnette Arnold<https://lynnettearnold.net/> – University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Dr. Shannon Ward<https://shannonward.ca/> – University of British Columbia, Okanagan

Dr. Kevin Whitehead<https://www.soc.ucsb.edu/people/kevin-whitehead> – University of California, Santa Barbara


The LISO conference promotes interdisciplinary research and discussion in the analysis of naturally occurring human interaction. Papers will be presented by national and international scholars on a variety of topics in the study of language, interaction, and culture.


This year, the conference theme is “Research and (Re)action.” This theme invites research that is engaged with the sociopolitical implications of language including: language and activism, language and resistance, language and social justice, and community-engaged approaches to research. We have put this theme forward in the hopes of fostering conversations about the role of language, interaction, and culture in the contemporary global sociopolitical climate.


Abstracts for presentations are welcome from all students, both graduate and undergraduate. Presentations that include video and/or audio recordings of naturalistic interaction are encouraged. Submissions within the scope of the conference theme are welcomed; however, innovative work on all aspects of language and interaction will be considered.


Please submit your abstract (up to 300 words) here<https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/76886/submitter> by January 31st, 2025.
